Yah, how does anyone go around setting this newsbox up? where are the instructions?

Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.

Okay, in case you don't know... we DO have a newsbox <a href="http://guide.keenspace.com/newshack.php?out=guide"> HERE </a>, login to <a href="http://siteadmin.keenspace.com">siteadmin</a> and configure it, or maybe I just need to make configuring it easier to use.

Ghastly wanted to know if I could make stats from it... so 2 hours later, we now have <a href="http://guide.keenspace.com/guide_newsbox.php">this</a>, albiet very ugly...

It's sole purpose is to track in/out on the newsbox... kinda like "top lists" , except this more tracks who is or is NOT putting the box on their site.

It's only been running for about 2 hours and is only showing "clicks" in this version. I might extend it a little to show counts instead of the same link over and over again. Still, I don't expect too much use of this one.

I might backport it to guide itself however, which means it could be used as a <strike>popularity contest </strike>page rank that could then be used on the front page.

Oh... and just a reminder, if you don't update your comic for 7 days, your newsbox will not show up. Some incentive to not go on hiatus.

In the meantime, I've set up an interim Newsbox ring. It's up and running, I just need people to send me their newsboxes: 150 x 300 pixels (old format). The only rules are that you put it on the main page and that you not violate the law.
